While hammering through I John in the 100 Day Challenge I am arrested by the high demands of following Christ. For instance...
*Don't love the world. The world is my frame of reference. My one time to be married, raise kids and have a job is in this life in this world. Yet, I must not unduly love the world. Easier said than done!
*Lay down your life for your friend. I have a hard time being inconvenienced w/o getting a bad attitude. Lay down my life?!
The idea that Christianity is fire insurance that would allow you to skate through the rest of life is both unbiblical and unrealistic.
